Can a 9 month old wear a helmet?
If your baby has a large flat spot that isn’t getting better by about 4 months of age, your doctor may prescribe a helmet. For a helmet to be effective, treatment should begin between 4 and 6 months of age. This will allow for the helmet to gently shape your baby’s skull as they grow.
